Are other female guinea pigs ok in the cage with guinea pig babies and the mother?

I would not recommend it. Just have the Mother Guinea Pig in with her babies separately. Sometimes the other guinea pigs can get excited and accidentally stomp the babies to death so best to keep Mom & babies separate.

Do female guinea pigs bite other female guinea pigs?
no because they are both female but they would fight if they wanted to make babies with a male.
How soon after a guinea pig delivers babies can you put others in the cage?
Not until the babies are weaned. This is safer because the mother will protect them and may fight other pigs. Never put a male in with a female with babies.
You have two female guinea pigs one had babies 3 weeks ago the other is due in a week or two you need to remove the male babies can you put the pregnant female in the cage with baby female and her mom?
As long as the male guinea pigs have been weaned they are ready to leave their mother, as you cannot keep a mother with her own male babies, because if they mate the babies that she has will have genetical problems. No you can't keep the two adult mothers together as when the babies are born they will try to feed off both mothers.
Do the male or female guinea pigs have the babies?
Like most mammals and other animals, the female guinea pig gives birth. Although, similar to a human, a male is needed to impregnate the female. Female guinea pigs can have litters of pups that very from one to eight in number.
Care for a female guinea pig when babies have died?
How Terrible!! =[ If there are any other nursing guinea pigs around, they will nurse babies that they did not give birth to. Whenever something like this happens, you need to find a really good pet store and veterinarian places to provide nutriton to the babies. Whenever my guinea pigs have babies and find out something like this happened to somebody, I myself would take care of the babies that lost their mother and then return them to their owners. Anyways, it doesn't take long at all before guinea pigs start to eat solid food. They are born with teeth just like they are born with hair.
Will the mother guniea pig bite you if you toched her babies right after they where born?

They can play with each other and sleep next to each other for warmth. Now if it was a male and female hamster there might be babies being made.
How long to ginnypig babys have to stay with the mum?
Guinea pig babies are different from other rodent babies in that they're born ready - with fur, eyes open, able to eat solid foods and able to move - whereas other rodents are pink, hairless, blind and totally dependant on the parents for survival. Mother guinea pigs do look after their babies (if you try and separate them, she'll call out for it) and suckle them, but if there's more than one lactating female, the babies will won't be too picky when it comes to suckling. I've had guinea pigs which for whatever reason were separated from their mom's since birth, with no problems, but maybe it's ideal to leave them with her till they're totally weaned.
Can you leave another female hamster in the cage after the mother has given birth?
no you cant have two females in the same cage after one has giving birth they will fight over the babies... and the other female might try to eat the new born babies.
Are guinea pigs safe around newborn babies?
you should only have the mother housed with young piggy babies. other adult piggies may trample the babies or the mother could eat them when they are born because she feels they are not protected enough... the babies can be housed with other adults/babies when they are weaned at 4-5 weeks if you are talking about human babies, it is probably best to keep them away... the baby could hurt it or the piggy could hurt the baby by scratching it etc.
